    Hey all. My name is Annabelle. I am a first time Lab owner. I previously had a pug so it's exciting to have a different breed but also pretty scary. I am trying to get everything right so am here to learn and interact.

    Welcome from Hattie 9 years and our rescue boy Charlie 6 years. Are you getting a boy or girl, any names chosen yet? You must be so excited :) x

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. Holly's my third Lab, though my OH had other breeds before we met. There's loads of useful info on the main website and plenty of experienced owners to help on this forum.

    Welcome to you from Mags, Tatze and Mollie :hi:

    Tatze is my pet dog, a black Lab and she's three years old. Tatze means 'paw' in German.

    Mollie is my fourth Guide Dog puppy, a black Lab and she's seventeen weeks old.

    Hi and welcome me and 3 year old fox red girl, Harley. She's my first dog too and we are still learning. Everyone on here has been really informative and supportive over the years so do ask any questions.

    Welcome! Wow, that's a big change from a pug to a lab. It will be fun getting your ideas on what is different about a lab and what is the same.

    I don't have any dog right at the moment (my boy Brogan in my avatar passed on at the venerable age of 13) and I also came here to learn about labs - it's a great place for that. :)

    Hello and welcome to both @Annabellam and @Steph R. from me and Lilly in Scotland.
    Lilly is my first dog (my OH's second lab) and Lilly is nearly 7 years old (which means I have forgotten all the puppy stuff LOL)

    Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. I feel at home. I named him Rex hoping it sounds alright. Getting names is always exciting! Hoping he picks on it asap. Great to meet you all. Looking forward to more interactions.

    A warm welcome to you and Rex from me and choccy girl Mabel. I'm intrigued. What made you decide on a Labrador?
